RESEARCH PLAN

• SPECIFIC AIMS
• SIGNIFICANCE
• INNOVATION
• PRELIMINARY STUDIES/PROGRESS
• APPROACH

SPECIFIC AIMS

• Market your application to reviewers
  • Briefly state the impact of the research on your field.
  • Briefly state why you chose the project.
  • Convey its significance and innovation.
  • Use terms a broad audience can understand.
• Choose Specific Aims peer reviewers can easily assess. Each one should be an achievable end point rather than a best effort.
• You should probably limit your application to one Specific Aim a year. For new applicants, being too ambitious is a common mistake.
• Have no more than one or two sets of experiments for each aim. If you need more, reorganize.

SPECIFIC AIMS

• 1 page- a longer version of the abstract.

• Typically 3-4 numbered goals.

• Use them also as subheadings for the research

plan.

• Introduce them with 1-2 paragraphs that

provide the rationale and background.

• Conclude with 1-2 paragraphs that describe

significance.

INNOVATION

• Briefly describe how the work is new and unique and

• Use multiple approaches but prioritize
• Discuss pitfalls and alternatives
